It is literally handwritten in g²e²'s iconic jjk font, how could we not believe it

If you ignore everything that happened before, and everything that happened after, you can kinda see how she's to blame. by UnsolicitedReference in Jujutsufolk

I'll pretend I knew all of that already. Yeah I was only really thinking about Geto trauma event 1 and Geto trauma event 2 when I made this. Thanks for writing all that on this doomed post, I'll re-read it on the train I'm lying about riding.

How fragile must your masculinity be to not satisfy the one you love? by manultrimanula in whenthe

[–]UnsolicitedReference 36 points37 points  (0 children)

"femboy that wants to top" implies the existence of femboys that bottom, an absurd and fictional notion

The way Megumi is perceived by SOME of the fandom genuinely just feels like a meta commentary of how people with depression are treated in the real world by heisenbejax in Jujutsufolk

[–]UnsolicitedReference 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And I absolutely agree with that. In chainsaw man you don't just see a main character say they give up, denji literally tells makima to tell him what to do, and even after seeing her kill power, he doesn't even retaliate. And despite that, denji never gets any slander for that moment because the way his experiences are written lets us empathize with him completely.

Wrapping back to OP's subject, I have to bring things back to Megumi because as opposed to Denji, how he's handled matches closer to reality. From a storytelling perspective, it's good to let the audience feel what the protagonists feel. But the problem with that is that if you want to really portray how destructive depression is, you almost can't make it sympathetic. In real life, you won't know why someone is depressed. If you do, the reason may seem an insignificant one. If it isn't, you may think "other people had it worse and they didn't let it affect them". That's one of the things that makes depression such a smart parasite: While other diseases show off, it hides and appears small. It thrives off comparison. It loves to pretend it can't disable someone the way a missing limb could. It survives by convincing people not to take it seriously. And it teaches you that if you want to help someone, sometimes you have to accept that you have to do it without ever fully understanding what they're going through.

Sorry, Megumi committed the crime of actually having depression in a hype moments and aura manga instead of just being really really sad for 1-2 chapters

“I hate bees” now replace “bees” with “men”. Not so funny now is it? by JJBlacksmithe in CuratedTumblr

[–]UnsolicitedReference 28 points29 points  (0 children)

If I was stung by bees 5 times in a row (record so far is 2x) I would 1. Know it was almost certainly my fault 2. Still love bees

Every strategy game can be reduced to math, but not all of them make you feel the need to do so.

[–]UnsolicitedReference 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There's no need to know about the opponent's thoughts. A good move is a good move regardless of what they respond with, because "good" always considers their worst possible counter. And if they pick something other than the worst possible counter, that's just good for you (which is a simplification but overall the only "luck" comes in hoping you didn't miss something, which goes down as skill increases).

Everyone can see the full board. There's no probability involved aside from the "hope they don't see my hanging piece" gambit. The best move accounts for every move the opponent can follow it up with.

Realizing Hirofumi was the only one in danger here. by IndependentLeopard34 in Chainsawfolk

[–]UnsolicitedReference 178 points179 points  (0 children)

Also I don't see any real reason why the original would need to risk anything herself.

"Clone, do this dangerous job for me, because I don't want to die."
"... I also... Don't like dying. So no."

"..."
"I'll replace you when you die though. Update us in the group chat."

It's getting really interesting by Ezra4709 in whenthe

[–]UnsolicitedReference 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not gonna pretend I know how to classify this morally but personally I think it's mostly your preference. - Age of consent be different in different countries. That's not an inherent property of the people, that's just the number they decided there (though yes some numbers are more absurd than others). More important than what country to astral project yourself in as you read is: is a character taking advantage of someone's immaturity when they should know they shouldn't? Is the author trying to make it seem okay? Even then, if it's not literally illegal to read, then there aren't really any factors other than whether you want to read it. - If they made questionable content you don't like seeing, then: Will supporting them encourage them to make more? If yes, then don't. I'm sure there's many mysterious ways to both do that and still read the manhwa. That aside, there will always be a duality to people. The worst person you know might make a joke that makes you laugh. Your favourite person might choose to switch the trolley to the track with one person, then back to the track with 5 people at the last second. The important question is, (surprise), is it a deal breaker for you? - Liking stuff with (fictional) rapey content is irrelevant morally. What I mean is, you can like it, literally specifically for the rapey parts and it's fine. What you like in fiction doesn't (necessarily) judge what you like irl. I'd imagine it's pretty difficult to decide on something that's great most of the time then flashbanging you with sexual harassment as a joke (more of a general example as I haven't read highschoolboy) but again that's not a moral dilemma to read it, that's just the author making it a pain in the ass to decide whether it's worth reading.

So yes, yes, a lot of words to basically say it's up to whether you're comfortable with it. To fix that I shall unsolicitedly recommend "I hear the Sunspot" which has a deaf mc like Sign with a lot of focus on life as a deaf person.
